A Streetcar Named Desire opening night afterparty

Despite the new production of A Streetcar Named Desire
lasting a whopping three and a half hours, there was - of course -
still time for a party. Audience members including Ben
Wishaw and
Dominic Cooper spilled out into the Young Vic's Cut bar on the
theatre's mezzanine ready to raise a glass of prosecco to the
play's stars
Vanessa Kirby,
Gillian Anderson and Ben Foster when they emerged triumphantly
from backstage. As friends, fans and the play's creative team
tucked into mini burgers, halloumi kebabs and falafel, there was
plenty of back-patting and talk of quite how many flowers had been
sent to the dressing rooms that day. Then it was home to bed to
shore up energy for the sold-out eight-week run.
